Darrin came home NEEDING to have planter boxes? When Darrin wants something he HAS to have it right then. So I told him he needed to wait a couple weeks, I was hoping that if he waited his impulse would change. Of course, he did not. Needless to say we got great planter boxes at Home Depot. Now we have cilantro at all time! We have one box with herbs and one with hot, hot, hot peppers. Colby and Darrin love their garden.

I have actually been trying to have photo shoot sessions with my children but they are NOT cooperating. They do not think it is very fun. Here r some picts that I like.

This is before I started putting Ethan in the crib. I decided to bring the porta-crib into the room and see if Colby would stay put in their room now that Ethan was there. A while later I came in to check on things and this is what I found. Colby loves his brother!



Ethan has been rolling on to his tummy for a while but he now is trying to figure out how to get back over. A couple times he has got the hang of things.

Colby has been in a toddler bed for a long time, since he was 16 months old, which is really early. Although he loves his toddler bed he sometimes has a problem staying in the bed. During nap time I heard a thud, so I walked by his room and found him asleep on his bedroom floor. That kid has the hardest time actually staying in his bed. He is a crazy sleeper!













Brynna and Colby loving playing at the bottom of our stairs. Brynna is showing Colby the ropes. She is teaching him how to unlock the door, yes, even the dead bolt. Thanks Nina( what Colby calls her) : ) Since this incident we have purchased an additional lock for our doors that the kids can't reach.

Yeah- for Aunt Candice. She was able to spend 3 weeks here. We had a blast. It is not that often you get to hang out with your sister for that long, especially now that we are married and don't live by each other. I am sad that she has to be away from Kayle for 10+ weeks but we had a blast together. Colby is quite her little admirer.




Sometimes I wonder if he is around his mother too much. He has seen me do one too many hair cuts and colors. Here Colby is seriously combing through Aunt Candy's hair.




Here is Colby getting ready to go to the pool. What killer hair! Why couldn't I get that...

If you notice closely, he has to have his most genuine smile... he is "secretly" going through Candice's purse!

I have been married for 5 years, that blows my mind. Candice is in town so she was nice enough to babysit the bambino's while Darrin and I went down to San Diego for the weekend. We stayed at the same resort I stayed in high school for my senior trip, Paradise Point. They have separate bungalows for the rooms and a really cool pool, love that place. We drove down to Coronado and looked around, at the hotel, maybe one day we can afford to stay there. That would be a fun little island to live on! We also went to Ruth's Chris for dinner down by the ocean and then the next day we spent it at San Diego. I told Darrin I wanted him to win a stuffed animal for me. We went over to the ring toss, He won a HUGE stuffed animal for me and then I won!! I have never won at one of these types of things, it was great!! What a great anniversary.

My boy is 2! That seams crazy. As a mother I could not have asked for a better son. Colby makes me so happy. I often wish I could be a perfect mom for him. Even though he is two, Colby makes me want to become a better person. I look up to my son.
Two years have come so fast, the second I held my son in the hospital after he was born, I was done for, It was instant love. Growing up you know your parents love you and that you love them but YOU really DON'T know how much a parent loves their children, until you experience it for yourself. I truly love Colby, with all of my heart. Each day I get to spend with him I love him more and more. I truly believe that Colby is the sweetest boy. Happy Birthday!Aunt Candice and the Scott family came for the celebration. Here is Colby with his little sweetheart Brynna.

My super adorable, handsome boys! They are such good brothers and great munchkins!
